There are 4 iodides on levothyroxine hormone. You will get those with your daily doses. (3 on T3 hormone).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levothyroxine

Also most quality vitamins have 150mcg iodide in each tablet.
(Centrum Silver). If you do not use iodized salt with your food, then taking 150mcg a day is a good idea. The food industry does NOT use iodized salt in the preparation of processed foods.

Too much iodine suppresses the thyroid and is a treatment in fact for hyperthyroidism.

Most breads have brominated compounds in them, as preservatives. Slowly this is being changed however. (bromine)
There can be a small amount of iodine in dough conditioners used in bakeries...but how much is not easy to find.
Some seafood provides iodine too.
